Ministry of Environment Peru

Online capacity building activities to fulfill biobusinesses’ needs are being designed in the framework of the economic recovery activities due to COVID-19 in 2020 and onwards

Prepare online campaigns inside MINAM to promote eco and biobusinesses (Challenge #Ibuysustainable)

http://ecoybionegocios.pe/

Statement: Ministry of Environment (MAE) - Ecuador

1. The current regulatory framework approved in 2017 and its regulations issued in 2019, encourage and promote BioTrade action in Ecuador. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment seeks to establish concrete actions to promote BioTrade in a participatory and inter-institutional manner.

2. In Ecuador, through the Ministry of Environment, a series of activities are carried out considering the importance of BioTrade and this within the scope of the bioeconomy, which are:

• Promotion and implementation of productive initiatives focused on environmental, social and

economic sustainability;

• Strengthening of value chains of various products from different regions of the country

(coast, sierra and Amazon), oriented to the use and benefit of wild species of native flora and

fauna, tourism; and

• Implementing actions focused on guaranteeing the food sovereignty of communities that

implement production initiatives with an ecosystem and adaptive approach, as cross-cutting

issues and focused on BioTrade guidelines.

We thank all the partners for the continued support
